"Don't touch me."

"But-"

"Daehwi, what part of leave me alone don't you understand?"

"Jangmi you can't be-"

"God Daehwi it's over. You're leaving and I'm staying but if you think I'm waiting for you to comeback, you're wrong."

Jangmi walked away from Daehwi, leaving him completely destroyed and speechless, not knowing what to say to her retreating figure.

Hyojung shook Jangmi's shoulder and gave the girl a worried look.

Jangmi snapped out of her daydream/recall of what had happened earlier in the day when they showed up to school, and just gave Hyojung a blank stare.

"Are you okay Jangmi? You look kind of... lost."

"When you have someone be your everything and are always on your mind, and they suddenly leave you one day, that must be the worst type of pain." Jangmi said without looking at Hyojung.

"Jangmi, are you referring to Daehwi and his feelings for you?"

"Who's Daehwi? I don't know him. It's like Min. She doesn't know a Samuel."

Hyojung sighed and let her friend pretend to be interested in their writing class, while Jangmi just looked at her notebook and didn't bother to try to listen or pay attention.

On the other side of the school, Daehwi was standing outside on the track, waiting for the gym teacher to tell them to start running.

Samuel and Daehwi, along with a student named Guanlin were all about ready to run, and when the gym teacher blew the whistle, all of them went running.

"How are you holding up Daehwi?" Samuel asked, not noticing the quiet come from his loud friend.

"I'm fine. How about you? I mean you really liked her and-"

"I still like her. But she made this decision and I want to stick to it no matter how much It bothers me."

Guanlin was semi new to their drama and merely listened while all of them were running laps around the track.

"Tomorrow will be a better day."
